A lonely mother gazing out of her windowStaring at a son that she just can't touchIf at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his sideBut he doesn't realize he hurts her so muchBut all the praying just ain't helping at all'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of troubleSo he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows howAnother body laying cold in the gutterListen to me

[Chorus:]Don't go chasing waterfallsPlease stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used toI know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at allBut I think you're moving too fast
